Chapter 488: Insanity (1/2)
Kai was speechless when he heard it. His eyebrows twitched and he said, ”If all of them are bad, why do you want me to choose?”
Arnaud shrugged and continued, ”Anyway, I have three pieces of news for you. First, I've sniffed out the real mastermind.”
”That's good. Isn't that good news?” Kai tilted his head in confusion.
”Well, because he is bad news. The culprit is the current prime minister of France.”
”…” Kai couldn't understand why it was bad news, so he asked, ”Is there any problem with his identity?”
”Yes. He currently holds the strongest influence. Although I doubt there is another connection between him and other Union members, I'm afraid it will take time to weaken him.”
”Ho?” Kai looked down and thought. ”It's not like we can kill him and be done with it.”
”Don't say such a scary thing in public, you won't like to be exposed, right?”
Kai shook his head and knew his concern. However, he had made sure that nothing would pick him out with his ears.
”Anyway, why is France's prime minister bad news?”
”He is… A scary man who plays very well in politics.” Arnaud shook his head helplessly. ”I'm afraid he will set us up if we go at him directly. That's why we need another party to help us.”
”Another party?” Kai narrowed his eyes.
”Yes. The Prime Minister of Sweden. He has agreed to meet you, but I'm afraid it has become the second bad news.”
”What do you mean?”
”He wants to show you something… No, the true ruler of Sweden wants to show you something. Due to that, he wants you to go there by yourself to discuss this matter.”
”That's easy, but…” Kai suddenly found something was wrong and continued, ”If I go there, won't the spy notice me?”
”Yes. That's why it's a problem. We can't get you there while avoiding his eyes.”
”We may find another way, but what I'm curious about is… Did you say the true ruler of Sweden?”
”Yes. The current prime minister is just a puppet. The real ruler is someone scarier than France's Prime Minister. You can say that if you're a prodigy in warfare, this person is a prodigy in politics.”
”Ho?!” Kai was amused by this information and asked, ”So, this person wants me to go there without being seen…”
”Yes.”
”Before continuing this topic, I need to know the third news first.”
”Certainly. As much as we have hidden it, our sudden disappearance made him suspicious. Hence, he had been looking for us this whole time and suspected that we got another outside help to increase Sofia and Roselyn's power. Hence, he suspected that there was something going on and tried to sniff it from me or anybody else. That's why our time is not that long anymore.”
”What?!” Kai opened his mouth in surprise. In their current situation, the source of power was the most important. That was why he had been redirecting all the attention to his secret method instead of outside help.
However, the prime minister seemed to have understood that there was outside help. This would certainly interest those people from the sea.
